Case Study

Increasing Podcast Views by 200%

Spirence is a preventative mental health platform for employers. Their podcast, Prevention Pioneers, interviews guests about their leadership approaches and how to build a resilient workplace. Their previous production partner was providing low-quality cuts that they never felt were good enough. So, they turned to Forge Apollo for higher-quality production, resulting in a massive increase in views and engagement.

The Challenge

Spirence had a fantastic idea for a brand-relevant podcast, but the execution wasn’t up to par. Their team would have to spend hours going back and forth to get a final product that felt good enough. They needed a team that understood their vision and could craft compelling stories with their interviews.

The Solution

Spirence turned to Forge Apollo for a higher-quality touch with the production and distribution of their episodes.

Production in Newtown Square

Spirence visited our studio in Newtown Square, just outside of Philadelphia, for their podcast recording days. Here, we were able to:

  • Create a custom set design to add a consistent visual identity to the podcast
  • Record episodes in bulk to streamline production and minimize costs
  • Capture high-quality audio and video recordings with professional equipment

Post-Production

With high-quality assets in hand, Forge Apollo’s post-production team creates the audio and video versions of each episode. We focus on storytelling to turn a raw interview into a compelling narrative and turn the most engaging pieces into social media clips for promotion.

Distribution

Our team distributes each podcast episode across major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Spotify. This includes creating all supporting assets, such as podcast descriptions, artwork, and a blog post.

The Impact

After releasing five episodes with Forge Apollo, Spirence saw the following results.

198.63% Increase in Average YouTube Views Per Episode

One of Prevention Pioneers’ guests was a two-time NCAA-winning Villanova basketball coach. The brand was uncertain when to release this episode. Forge Apollo suggested strategically releasing it during March because of the prominence of college basketball for March Madness, and it went viral.

Increased Referrals & Improved Business Relationships

Prevention Pioneers has opened several conversations with key business-driving partners and referral sources, especially the Jay Wright episode. It’s also helped keep current customers more engaged with the brand, supporting renewals.
